borat as a character - I would say yes to some extent.

Sacha Baron Cohen - NO!

all borat is : awesome

end of story

Personally I think Sascha's aim was to make a satire of common viewpoints and stereotypes (especially American ones) - however I think his work is too frequently misinterpreted and/or taken in a poor manner. I'm personally not a fan of his for the simple reason that I don't feel I gain anything except short term laughs - I might even say watching his show/movie(s) would make me stupid (Don't take that literally).

He is Jewish and as a result his work - at least towards Jews - is viewed as "acceptable" by some. Personally I think that this viewpoint would be ok if you didn't have over 50% of the people who watch his shows/movies not understanding the point and just taking everything in at face value (aka worthless crap).

From what I see, there are way too many kids running around repeating what they saw in the Borat movie or watching Ali G or whatever the case may be without really understanding what Sascha was trying to get at; this, unfortunately, negates the concept in mind and ends up promoting racism (too many kids don't know any better than to really understand what they're saying).

Overall, I don't see Sascha as blatantly racist. I think he's a smart man with - at the very least - a decent idea in mind. That way too many people take it the wrong way is an issue on its own, but there will always be people who will senselessly repeat whatever a movie says.
